Check and Check

I can check two things off my list. I got both projects done on my sewing retreat, despite leaving early because of a family emergency (all doing okay now, thankfully). My first priority was a birdie sling for my mother-in-law. It was her birthday gift...last week. She asked for a black and white bag, and I found this great Alexander Henry print called Kenyan Tea Leaves.

I made it at 75% size as I did on my first birdie. I paired it with Kona black and some Echo on the inside.

Next up on my sewing to do list was a cell phone case. I did finally get a new phone, like I wanted, so it needed a sleeve of some kind. I found the adorable Japanese print at Pink Chalk. I also got a kit to make fabric covered buttons - so easy and fun. Expect many more fabric covered buttons here. :)

And see the little guy on the back? I based my case on this tutorial by fairy face designs although I changed the size of the patchwork panels. It fits an iPhone perfectly.
